Tips To Stop A Cyber Bully

Cyber bullying, which is sometimes referred to as online social cruelty or electronic bullying, has become the rage in our modern culture. Nowadays, whether driving a car, sending an email or signing a contract, technology extends our realm of influence. It is not that people have changed, or computers are inherently harmful; it this extended influence that allows hateful messages to reach more people, faster. Cyberbullying claims the dreams and aspirations of our youth at an immeasurable rate. Here are some tips on how to prevent cyber bullying!

Don’t respond. If someone bullies you, remember that your reaction is usually exactly what the bully wants. It gives him or her power over you. Who wants to empower a bully?

Don’t retaliate. Getting back at the bully turns you into one and reinforces the bully’s behavior. Help avoid a whole cycle of aggression.

Save the evidence. The only good news about digital bullying is that the harassing messages can usually be captured, saved, and shown to someone who can help. You need to do this even if it’s minor stuff, in case things escalate.

Talk to a trusted adult. You deserve backup. It’s always good to involve a parent but – if you can’t – a school counselor usually knows how to help. Sometimes both are needed. If you’re really nervous about saying something, see if there’s a way to report the incident anonymously at school.

Block the bully. If the harassment’s coming in the form of instant messages, texts, or profile comments, do yourself a favor: Use preferences or privacy tools to block the person. If it’s in chat, leave the “room.”

Be civil. Even if you don’t like someone, it’s a good idea to be decent and not sink to the other person’s level. Also, research shows that gossiping about and trash talking others increases your risk of being bullied. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Don’t be a bully. How would you feel if someone harassed you? You know the old saying about walking a mile in someone’s shoes; even a few seconds of thinking about how another person might feel can put a big damper on aggression. That’s needed in this world.

Be a friend, not a bystander. Watching or forwarding mean messages empowers bullies and hurts victims even more. If you can, tell bullies to stop or let them know harassment makes people look stupid and mean. It’s time to let bullies know their behavior is unacceptable – cruel abuse of fellow human beings. If you can’t stop the bully, at least try to help the victim and report the behavior.

Home is Where the Hurt Is.

I think the support the Kony2012 campaign received practically overnight was incredible. Just remember, there are kids going through similar situations right at home. Please click here to read more about the Trayvon Martin tragedy as well as others happening in our very own backyard.

The conversation about bullying is an important one.  If you haven't already, take a moment to watch the trailer for the new movie, Bully, which seeks to draw attention to this widespread issue and hopefully put a stop to it.  The movie is opening in theaters across America, starting in LA on March 30th.  Currently, the movie has an R rating but thousands of people have signed a petition to change this to a PG-13 so that the kids the movie is meant to reach can actually see it.  To learn more or to join the movement against bullying, visit Bully's Facebook page and keep an eye on Akoo for upcoming news on this!
